learned that G. b. Hay had sent in his
resignation as railroad agent ut this place
Mr.. Hay has ever given satisfaction to
the people, yet not to the detriment Of
bis employers, and resigns because

new field OF labor. He expects daily to
be relieved from duty, and will then re-
move to central or eastern Kansas.
